    I have both one for business one for personal... It really doesn't matter it's all personal preference. You might end up hating the S3 a lot of people hate iTunes then when they get a android they want to go back. I like both but your probably going to return the s3 if you buy it.

    Just go with what you like. If you like Itunes, but have a n android, you can download doubletwist. It will even let you synce itunes playlists

    i'm still rocking the iphone 3gs

    lol Nothing wrong with that. Use what works for you. ? I know cats that don't like to upgrade their phones until there are major changes. I don't own an iphone, but I would be mad to update from iphone 4 to 4s.

    samsung is for smart ninjas though

    Had to fix that. The only people who buy an iPhone after being given all the information that other phones are superior let me know that they make decisions based on fitting in and I no longer trust their judgment.

    lol @ your defense for your purchasing your phone being that it cost a lot.

    Who gives a ? ? I don't even hate the iPhone, and I'd say the iPhone is at least top 5 maybe top 3 right now. But paying more for an inferior product doesn't make you elite. It just makes you stupid.

    i dont know about you but the average user probably doesnt even use 50% of the functions the phone offers, so it doesnt really make a difference.

    what can you do with an s3 you cant do with an iphone that is relevant for a normal user?

    Android users probably use a lot of the functionality. I know I do and I'm not some kinda of Tech ? . That said, it's fair to say that iPhones are probably better for people who just want a simple smartphone and don't care about a bunch of options in customization, personalization, and optimization. Just speaking for me though, iPhones are boring as ? . Pretty much every iPhone looks the same no matter who has it. Every Android phone is difference and those differences are in respect to the user and their style.

    i agree with the options in customization, personalization, and optimization point. but generally speaking i would say these users are not the majority of s3 buyers.

    i think the majority of buyers are people who would like to have an iphone but dont want to or just cant afford it. just think of all the female or 40+ consumers, like they know ? about all the features...

    I'd say more casual users are drawn to the screen size of the S3 over the iPhone. And I'm willing to bet that iphones are probably more popular among 40+ customers than Android phones.

    S3's & notes are great phones but ? not buying them because of the hacking, overclocking & what not tgey buying them because that screen size. At least from what I've saw.

    Those numbers are pointless, but they are also kinda jaded. For instance, a lot more companies and businesses use iPhones as company phones than Android phones. That alone explains a lot of the discrepancies that are noted in that list.

    Ya'll keep saying that, but people don't need to know what a quadcore processor is to understand what it does for them. My wife has no idea what it does, but she does know that her Note II is a hell of a lot faster than the Thunderbolt she had even with having more stuff operating at any given time. And as soon as people are shown how to use something like NFC, they use it. Not to mention that you have other devices coming out that work with your phone using the NFC, so once people start buying things like that, the NFC usage will jump.

    Unless you want to get lost using its navigation, nothing innovative, simple features, team Iphone all the way. If you want the opposite of all that, go with the S3, neither tho I wish I waited a little longer for the Note 2, that ? is flawless.

    Ehh good points but I still think the selling point with not just Samsung phones but android phones in general are the fact that the screen are huge & colorful people love that ? most don't even give a ? or care about what the phone can actually do ot is capable of do.

    My girl & her sis both want the note 2 know why? Their only reason is that the

    I don't disagree with you that the size is the primary selling point. I think I said something similar a couple posts back. That said, useful features and performance capabilities appeal casual users too. I mean phones from 2 years ago might be considered sluggish by standards now. No one wants a sluggish phone.
